Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time
Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time
Local operators across Argentina, introduced by a founder who has worked with them for more than 20 years.
A travel company is a promise: someone will take care of your trip as if it were their own. This is who is making that promise, and how we got here.
Numbers we can back with a date, a licence or a public profile.
Our founder, Nicolas Iemolo, began studying Tourism at CEPEC in Buenos Aires in 2003, and a year later he was already selling trips at a local travel company. Four years of listening to travellers taught him the first lesson that still shapes Argentina Pura: people do not buy destinations, they buy answers to the questions that worry them.
In 2008 Nicolas moved to Mendoza to work in tourism and hospitality at Achaval Ferrer, one of Argentina's reference wineries. Receiving guests from all over the world for five years turned a salesman into a host. In 2009, while still at the winery, he co-founded SAK Wine & Travel, a receptive agency specialized in wine tourism that still operates in Mendoza today.
After 18 years in the industry, Nicolas founded Argentina Pura with a simple idea: instead of selling packages, design each journey around a theme the traveller chooses. Wine, mountains, wildlife, food, or all of them at once. Argentina Pura SL was established as a licensed travel agency in Spain, so every trip is protected under European consumer law.
We remain deliberately small: a founder who still spends part of every year on the road checking hotels, restaurants, and connections; a content team that researches and writes our guides; and an operations team in Argentina that runs the trips on the ground. You will always know who is taking care of you, by name.
Nicolas learned this trade in Buenos Aires. He studied Tourism, qualified as a licensed tour guide and started working with the local operators who run trips across Argentina: the guides, drivers and teams that travellers meet but rarely get to choose.
Then he moved to Mendoza and joined Achaval Ferrer, a reference winery in Argentina, where he received guests from all over the world and worked every day with the local guides, drivers and lodges they depend on. From that side of the table he saw what travellers rarely see: the people who deliver a great day are small, local and hard to find from abroad, and between them and the traveller sits a chain of resellers, each adding cost and removing detail.
Argentina Pura exists to shorten that chain without leaving you on your own. You book with one team, and that team works directly with the local operators who will be with you on the ground. Nicolas stays in the middle as the reference: he has worked with them, and he answers for them. For you that means knowing who will look after you, by name, before you travel, and having someone who knows both sides if something needs fixing.
In Argentine tourism since 2003. Tourism Technician, licensed Tour Guide, and partner at SAK Wine & Travel.

Sociologist and strategic communication specialist. Writes our destination guides, reviewed by the founder.
Meet Paula →Local guides, drivers, and coordinators in every region: the people who turn an itinerary into a trip that simply works.
I did not want to be the middle man. I wanted to be the person who can say: I know them, you will be in good hands.
Your journey is designed around what you love: wine, trekking, wildlife, food, photography. The route serves the theme, never the other way around.
From first email to airport goodbye, the same small team is assigned to your trip, and you know each of them by name. No call centers, no ticket numbers.
Hotels, wineries, and connections we recommend have been checked by our own team on the ground, season after season.
If a season, route, or lodge is not right for you, we say so. A good trip starts with saying no to the wrong options.
A tailor-made trip is only as good as the people who deliver it on the ground. We work with a short list of providers in each region, built across more than 20 years in the industry, and we keep it short on purpose.
Every hotel, lodge, and estancia on our list has been checked in person by our team, and gets re-checked when ownership or management changes.
In Mendoza and Salta we work directly with the wineries, from family projects to reference houses, so tastings and lunches are arranged with the people who make the wine.
Guides and drivers are licensed professionals from each region, chosen for how they host, not just what they know. Many have worked with us for years.
No provider pays to be on our list, and whoever stops meeting the standard leaves it. Our only commission is your trip going well.

Traveler reviews
Reviews from travelers who designed their Argentina trip with our team, published on Google, Tripadvisor and Trustpilot. Each card links to the original review.
I had a wonderful trip and would do it again in a heartbeat! Eva helped me plan everything and was always available before and during my trip to answer questions. She tailored accommodations and travel times within the country to make my visit relaxed and enjoyable at the same time. I felt a sincere desire in her to provide me with the best experience. I also appreciated the driver they chose for me, Eduardo. He was not only trustworthy but also very knowledgeable about the area highlights and history. I would highly recommend Argentina Pura and Eva to anyone who would like to visit Argentina.
It has been a positive experience working with Argentina Pura from the first engagement when I filled the form on their website till the time we’ve returned back home. They were quick to respond and helped to tailor a well planned trip. It was challenging to include all the destinations I asked for in the time we had for the trip, and yet they managed to do it in the most efficient and enjoyable way. What was more amazing was how smoothly everything ran. All the flights were on time, the transfers, the excursions. It was well organized and the team was highly professional, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English extremely well. We had the most amazing time in Argentina and big part of it is thanks to the professionalism of this agency. Highly recommended!
What an amazing experience! The team put together a 3-day program for me to visit and experience the true Patagonia. Perfect organization - special thanks to Eva Echeveste for her patience and guidance - friendly staff, which made this dream of mine come true! Thank you so much!

I have already traveled with this company on 3 occasions. To Mendoza, to Bariloche and surrounding areas, and the last time to the North. It was a pleasure to "travel to Argentina", and with them it becomes even easier, since they made everything very easy for us, the hotels, the transfers and the excursions. Never a problem. To recommend!!
